Mera Finest Fit
Senior 8+
Summary
Mera Finest Fit Senior 8+ is a dry cat food designed for cats aged 8 years and older. It focuses on kidney support, joint maintenance, and overall well-being.
The primary protein source is poultry protein (18%), complemented by fresh poultry meat (15%), ensuring an adequate supply of animal-based protein.
Rice (30%) is the main carbohydrate source, offering digestible energy suitable for older cats with reduced activity levels.
The formula features a reduced phosphorus content (0.68%) to help ease kidney strain, which is crucial for aging cats prone to kidney issues.
Glucosamine (0.04%) and chondroitin sulfate (0.02%) are added to support joint health and mobility and address age-related joint concerns.
Lignocellulose (4.4%) and beet pulp (3.5%) contribute to fiber intake, aiding digestion and helping prevent constipation, a common issue in senior cats.
Salmon oil (1%) and sunflower oil (0.7%) provide essential fatty acids that promote healthy skin, coat condition, and overall immune support.
A blend of forest fruits, including raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries, delivers natural antioxidants to help support immune system function.
The food is formulated without wheat, soy, artificial colorings, preservatives, or genetically modified ingredients, making it suitable for cats with dietary sensitivities.
Pros:
Kidney support: Reduced phosphorus (0.68%) helps minimize kidney strain, essential for aging cats.
Joint health benefits: Glucosamine (0.04%) and chondroitin sulfate (0.02%) contribute to maintaining joint integrity and mobility.
Digestive health: Lignocellulose (4.4%) and beet pulp (3.5%) promote fiber intake, aiding digestion and reducing constipation risks.
Healthy skin and coat: Salmon oil (1%) and sunflower oil (0.7%) provide essential fatty acids for improved coat condition and skin hydration.

Cons:
Moderate protein content: At 29%, the protein level is lower than some senior-specific formulas, which may not be ideal for highly active senior cats.

How the score is calculated?
The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.
To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:
(1) Amount of protein (more is better)
(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)
(3) Quality and source of ingredients.
Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.
One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.
In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.
Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.
Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.
Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.
Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.
Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.
Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.
The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
